It’s Wednesday, the middle of the week, and I know that many of you will be going to mid-week service or Wednesday Bible Study at your church. Well, let me pass on point presented by Pastor Marcus R. King at Salt Of The Earth Church (Indianapolis, Indiana) this past Sunday. When you got to your gathering tonight, or even if it is scheduled earlier in the day or another day, don’t just be in...

THE CORRECT ANSWER TO THE QUESTION

It was the year,1955. Two third grade classmates were debating about whether Santa Claus was real or not. Their debate was as entertaining as the 1947 movie about the Miracle on 34th Street. As a matter of fact, one of the students tried to refer to the movie, but couldn’t remember the street, just the miracle and the content of the movie. The other student said, “Do you know what the street...

“What a God! His road stretches straight and smooth. Every God-direction is road-tested.    Everyone who runs toward Him makes it.” (Psalm 18:30 The Message Bible) Pastor M.R. King used an analogy in Sunday School a couple of weeks ago to make a profitable point to participants in the Adult Sunday School Class.

“Or imagine a woman who has ten coins and loses one. Won’t she light a lamp and scour the house, looking in every nook and cranny until she finds it? And when she finds it you can be sure she’ll call her friends and neighbors: ‘Celebrate with me! I found my lost coin!’ Count on it—that’s the kind of party God’s angels throw every time one lost soul turns to God.” (Luke 15:8-10...

A local pastor gifted me a book entitled “100 Names of God.” The author, Christopher D. Hudson, writes in the Introduction of the book, “In the Bible, we discover dozens of names and titles for God. Each on of these names reveals some facet of God’s nature or reminds us of His dealings with humankind.” The author adds. “This little book is not exhaustive, focuses brief attention on...

THE SERVING HEART

“The greatest among you must be a servant.” (Matthew 23:11 NLT) A heart that is conditioned to serve never stops serving. If someone has already made that statement, please know that I have not heard it and I am not borrowing a quote. That statement is something that came to my mind as I was recently comparing my father’s life after retirement with my own the life after retiring, somewhat....

THE CLICKING

In the inside of my garage, there are four different types of sweepers and one wet-dry vac. When I looked at them acting like they were holding up one of the walls of the garage, I said to myself, “How many sweepers does it take to sweep the house.”  We surely have enough now. But I thought back to years ago, during the mid-1980’s and we did not have a good sweeper. I take that back. I...

THE STRONGER CORD

“And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart.” (Ecclesiastes 4:12 NASB) This is an era where good jobs seem scarce and hard to find. It is a situation than messes with the sanity of one’s mind, especially as the clock of urgent needs and obligations continues to unwind. You apply online, and your resume looks fine, but...

“Last of all I want to remind you that your strength must come from the Lord’s mighty power within you. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand safe against all strategies and tricks of Satan. For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against persons without bodies—the evil rulers of the unseen world, those mighty satanic beings and great...

“Now behold, one came and said to Him, ‘Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?’ So He said to him, ‘‘Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.’ He said to Him, ‘Which ones?’ Jesus said, ‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You...
